Crucial DDR4-3200 Desktop Memory 1x16GB 2133 CL15 vs Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB in detail
True latency
Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB is the lower-latency kit at 13.75 ns against 14.06 ns for Crucial DDR4-3200 Desktop Memory 1x16GB 2133 CL15, 0.32 ns between them. That is the figure that reconciles the two spec sheets: a CAS number counts cycles, and cycles mean nothing apart from the rate they are counted at. Crucial DDR4-3200 Desktop Memory 1x16GB 2133 CL15 runs 2133 MT/s at CL15; Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL22.
Transfer rate
Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB carries the higher rating, 3200 MT/s to 2133 MT/s for Crucial DDR4-3200 Desktop Memory 1x16GB 2133 CL15 — 25600 MB/s per module against 17064 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: a higher clock is reached by counting more cycles for each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too and why the true latency above is the directly comparable figure.
Price and tracked history
Crucial DDR4-3200 Desktop Memory 1x16GB 2133 CL15 is tracked at 101,56 €, or 6,35 € per gigabyte; Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB at 108,99 €, or 6,81 €.
